I’m Gabriela Fuentes, and I’m a New York Wedding Photographer telling love stories through for sweet and happy couples. For those of you who want to know about me, what can I say? …. I’m easy going and I like to have fun with my brides. I’m a storyteller, and I read a bedtime story to my three year old every night.

What makes you different than other wedding photographers? That’s easy, let me have my New York brides tell you:

“When I first met with Gaby I’ve already met with a few NYC photographers. Her presence, professionalism and warm aura was evident the moment I walked into her office. Something I didn’t get with other photographers I’ve met…. ” – Martine, New York City, New York

Karan and Karishma’s traditional Sikh Indian Wedding at the Imperia in Somerset, New Jersey. As we were waiting for Karan and Karishma’s parents to arrive, the sun was setting behind the bride and groom, so I couldn’t miss the opportunity to take this backlit portrait of the bride and groom. Backlit pictures are some of my favorite shots, so that’s why this is My Photo of week. I hope you like it.

I’ve known Marcela since she was a little girl, and I can’t really express how happy I was seeing her get married. Marcela and Eric planned a small, intimate and romantic summer wedding at the Reeves-Reed Arboretum in Summit, NJ. Their wedding was beautiful, charming, cheerful and it couldn’t have been more perfect than it was. The Bride and groom decided to see each other before the ceremony, which allowed us more time to walk through The Reeves-Reed Summit Arboretum to take pictures of this gorgeous couple surrounded by the beautiful gardens and park. A private setting was created to make that first time Eric saw Marcela on her wedding dress something really special. The first look was so emotional that it was hard not to cry seeing Marce and her sister, and my dear friend Paola, sobbing.

I love the vintage look of Marcela’s wedding dress by J Crew. The “I Do” detail is sassy.

Marcela’s sister, Veronica Garcia, is a NJ make-up artist, and she did an amazing job with photo finish make-up.

Wall Florist did an amazing job with Marcela’s flower arrangements, and made exactly what she had envisioned

Reeves-Reed Summit Arboretum Wedding. Voted Best of the Knot Weddings and among the Top Ten Wedding Photographers and Videographers in New Jersey. The Wedding Central is a wedding photography and wedding video located right in Northern New Jersey and serving, Northern New Jersey, Bergen County, NJ, Hoboken Weehawken Central NJ, Jersey Shore and New York City, Rockland County and the tri-state area.

First, I just want to say that I was very pleased to be the wedding videographer for such a nice couple. Dominic and Erika chose to marry across two states. So we headed to the beautiful church of St. Ann’s in Nyack, NY for the ceremony and then headed to The Venetian in Garfield, New Jersey for the most exquisite reception. I have to give up to this couple for creating an elegant and extraordinary wedding.

We want to thank them for getting on board with our documentary style wedding video. Which is, in my opinion, a really nice way to start their wedding video. The couple shared with us how the met, how the groom proposed and the best qualities of both of them. This gives us the opportunity to know a little bit more about them.

The wedding videographer shot this wedding video in high definition. At the post production I used several filters and color correction to smooth a little bit the image graining and give a more professional look as the final product will be delivered in standard definition.

I like to shoot weddings in a wedding photojournalistic way without interfering, and I do that through the ceremony and reception staying vigilant for the unscripted moments. But I also know how important portraits are to my couples, and I have to admit I have so much fun posing them in different kinds of ways, from contemporary and fashionable poses, to romantic and funny situations, to the ones that truly reflect themselves, and that is the biggest compliment when I hear that I really captured them. Capturing details in a fashionable and beautiful way is another tricky process where you can cross the wedding photojournalistic fine line specially if you put an art director’s hat with the hopes the shot can submitted for publication.

While I’m being commissioned to photograph a wedding, and I’m trying to conform with certain standards and rules of photography and magazine styles, I need to keep my artistic sanity, and I do that by making sure that on every wedding I take at least one picture just for me. The following picture inspired me to start a weekly post featuring a photo that I took just for me. This is My photo of the week.

Marcela and Eric got married at the Reeves-Reed Arboretum in Summit, New Jersey. Since the house of the arboretum was built in 1889, I decided to take a portrait that gave me that turn of the century look. I posed Marcela and Eric in an unflattering way and asked them to stand side, by side looking directly at the camera, Danny looked at me like saying what are you doing? But again, this picture was just for me. I desaturated the picture enough just to leave hints of color on the background and on her bouquet.

Welcome to our blog, we are happy that you are stopping by. If you are a prospective client, please feel free to browse through our wedding photography and video gallery.

The Wedding Central offers Wedding Photography and Documentary HD Wedding Videos in an unobtrusive way without interfering with your guests or ceremony. Our goal is to capture your wedding in a storytelling style using a mixed approach of photojournalistic photography and contemporary posed photography and documentary videography.

When photographing a wedding, we are specially looking for three things: people, emotions and details. We want to capture the look on the face of the groom when he sees the bride for the first time, the look on her face as they are reading the vows, and the smile as they walk into the reception hall for the first time as husband and wife.

We also like to capture every wedding detail: wedding dress, shoes, rings, bouquet, veil, flowers, centerpieces, favors and tux because each detail has been carefully selected by the bride and groom after countless hours of flipping through magazines, looking at photographs, browsing wedding sites and visiting vendors. It is through these details that the personalities and the likes of the bride and groom are revealed.

At the end of the day, the collection of those emotions, people and details make your wedding story. That is what we want to capture through our photography and videography. We want to Capture Your Memories.
